misc musings

The randoms running through my head:

• Ryan thankfully comes home on Saturday. On one hand these past three and a half weeks have flown by. On the other, I kinda forget what he looks like it feels like we said goodbye ages ago. 
• Newlyweds should never have to be separated! 
• Last night, I realized I really need to step up my blogging. I really love to look back and read past posts, but won't be able to do that if I don't blog more!
• A week and a half ago, Jennette and I went sledding at her house and I ran into a rock. A nightlong trip to the ER, 13 stitches in my forehead, a tube of Neosporin, and one scar later, I'm healing rather nicely. 
• I'm loving my new job more and more everyday, and think I have finally found the place I'll be for years to come. I'm in a great role that is perfect for me, my personality and the way I work. 
• We are moving in a month. OhmygodImalreadystressed, and I just plain detest all that goes into moving to a new home. But I do like purging, organizing and unpacking. Can't wait to settle in and start living our life in Manchester. 
• About one year ago, I became pregnant. Our baby would have been due in November 2011. If I get pregnant in February, our baby will be due in November 2012. Fingers crossed. Although I must say I never, in a million years, would have thought by now I would NOT have already been pregnant. Just another realization you cannot control the things you think you can. 
• Last week, I had a dr. apt. and it was the first time I ever had to answer "Ever been pregnant and if so, live birth?" May as well rip my heart out and stomp on it. 
• I think I kinda miss cooking dinner, and can't believe I just admitted that. 
• I just answered the Jeopardy final question correctly (Brain Freeze, really?), so I'm feeling pretty dern proud of myself ;) 

And with that, a few pics of the lovely new scar that will be with me for the rest of my life.

                                     

                                                       

                                                                                    

misc musings

1. I've finally joined Pinterest. Why in the WORLD did it take me so long to give in. It's ah-mazing.
2. Holy cow- I can cook. And I can cook good food that Ryan actually wants to eat. Heck, he devours! Not to mention, I enjoy cooking- it brings me so much satisfaction to know that I can take raw ingredients and feed myself and my man. I made some fabulous things this past weekend. So much so that tonight we have to have leftovers- no room in the fridge for more!
3. We're heading to Chicago this weekend to see these fine people. Looking forward to escaping for a mini getaway with my Hubs. Mark did his undergrad at MSU, so it will be fun to watch the MI vs. MI State game with them. And I can't wait to meet their precious daughters. 
4. Tori Spelling just had her third child. A girl. For those of you who know me, you'll know this is a big deal. Since she's pretty much my BFF and all. 
5. I haven't written my thank you cards yet for all the wonderful wedding gifts we received. I feel so ashamed, but I tell ya- there is a good reason for it. I'm waiting on my disk of pics so I can order TY cards online. Jennette tells me as long as I get them out by Thanksgiving, I'm in the clear. Hope she's right!
6. This past weekend, we made it to Eastern Market, the cider mill and took the dogs on a nature walk. Unfortunately, the Indian corn I bought for my front porch was eaten by squirrels. Dern you city squirrels! They have no fear. Neither does the rabbit living under our back deck. 
7. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go peruse the Internet so I can pin some beautiful things to my boards.
